Agricultural soils from Romania contain on an average about 15-68 ppm boron and the mobile boron quantity varies between 0,1-0,8 ppm (4). They were noticed Folibor and Borcomplex products in a 5 liters/ha quantity applied in two treatments, which determined the obtaining of some production increases statistically ensured in those two years at the onion from chive crop. Fertilization with the Borcomplex product in a 5 l/ha application dose, determined a production increase at the surface unity, even in the case of very big fluctuations of climatic conditions from one year to the other, the production increases being of 5,375 t/ha in the year 2006 and 6, 575 t/ha in the year 2007.

This article discusses a study of health benefits of resveratrol and anthocyanins in grapes. The study used modern methods to determine the poliphenolic compounds, like spectrofotometrical method for anthocyanins and HPLC method for resveratrol with ethyl acetate. It observed that the increasing of anthocyanins content is developed at once with the decreasing of resveratrol content.

The experiment was conducted at SCDA Simnic in the year 2006 on a brown reddish reach in clay type of soil with 1,5-1,8 % humus and a 5,6 pH. As biological material Brocor line was used, characterized through a great production potential and high protein content (45,39% average in the years 2005-2006, 51,5% at plants bacterized with Rizoborm). It was studied the effect of boron based fertilizers through the application into vegetation of two treatments with a 51/ha dose, the first one in the 4-6 leaves stage and the second one at 15 days distance from the first application. Variants of the experiment: V1 = water sprinkled Control V2 = Cupribor-fructose V3 = Cupribor-sorbitol V4 = Borcomplex Boron based fertilizers applied into vegetation determine the drop of protein concentration into grain, not so much through the drop of the accumulated nitrogen quantity, but especially through the increase of the accumulated biomass (through the dilution process). Boron based compounds determine significant grain and protein production increases, (Table 1). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
